I'd absolutely lose my shit if they stopped producing them. That would be letter writing petition organising time.

So why doesn't the club just "knock them off" - ie copy them, produce them & ensure supply under its own PAFC brand?

We could get them made in a sweat shop in Bangladesh while we're at it.

To think you could replicate a new era cap as easy as you make it sound is an insult to the brand and their global success. If flexfit standard is what youre after sure, but that would be a big downgrade on what we presently have.

While it would be an absolute travesty if we stop producing official NE hats it wouldn't be the end of the world seeing as they can be ordered custom direct from NE.

New Era are not going to enter into an exclusive agreement with a club that would effectively lock out 90% of their potential market in a given sport. Won't happen.

Especially not when there entire thing is cover basically every sport and team (bar soccer for whatever reason) regardless of their other manufacturer agreements.

Really?! Is there a minimum number for an order? We should all chip in and make a FigBooty edition. I'd be all over a PA logo version of this.




Replace that eagle with a magpie, oh boy!

Magpie one side, Power the other, PA front, 1870 back

Not a bad idea but the New Era logo would be on the opposite side, so it's one or the other.

Or this?

 

[El_Scorcho]

Just the PA and 1870 for me. Less is more

Any word on opening hours around Christmas? I'll be in Adelaide for a few days and I'm keen to get a couple of items (and avoid Infinite Retail).

So update on my lost PA snapback, I called up the port store and they had the white on black PA 59fiftys, so I ordered one of those!

Thanks for the tip guys!

Your half-brother works in Port's merchandising department, right?

From a geriatric's perspective, those black on black caps are brilliant

Subtle with a sledgehammer like impact.

BTW. Does anyone know the name of the Port Store bearded bloke? We bought ****loads on Friday and had a great chat with him. Absolute top bloke. People like him are priceless

Herb's given me the reigns, I'm sure he won't regret it!

Has anyone bought one of those member polos or jumpers? Last year's member jumper actually looked pretty good, and this year's polo might be good too but it's hard to tell what shit really looks like when there's just renders on the website. I'll probably go down to the Port Store during the week and have a look but it will take a fair bit of planning due to reasons so I was hoping for a verdict or a picture from one of you fashionistas.

I had half an idea to buy an ugly jumper but after those ALDI ads I was totally put off it.

It suits you. It really brings out the colour in your eyes.
